TORONTO, May 29 /CNW/ - Thirty-three CDs. Seven No. 1 singles. Almost one
million units sold. Sixteen JUNO nominations. Over the past four years,
Canadian Idol has not only changed the lives of hundreds of singers across the
country, but the Canadian music industry as well. Now, the dream-making series
returns for a fifth blockbuster season next Tuesday, June 5 at 8:30 p.m. ET
(visit CTV.ca to confirm local broadcast times) with a 90-minute audition
episode featuring the best and worst of this year's cross-Canada audition
tour. Thirty-one episodes later, another life will be changed when the next
Canadian Idol is crowned.

In 2003, Canadian Idol made Canadian television history by becoming the
most-watched, home-grown (English language) series of all time. Four seasons
later, Canadian Idol continues to hold that title as well as Summer's No. 1
show overall. Last September's finale peaked at 3.4 million viewers when Eva
Avila was crowned the 2006 Canadian Idol champion.
Now, Canadian Idol returns with a format change that has dramatically
changed the game: instruments. The North American-first resulted in a whole
new crop of talent which, for the first time, saw more guys than girls land
the coveted "Gold Ticket" to the Top 200 round.
"Canadian Idol is one of those rare shows that actually makes a
difference," said Susanne Boyce, CTV President of Programming and Chair of the
Media Group. "Not only to the competitors whose lives are changed by the
experience, but to viewers at home as well."
"This is one of the best cross-country auditions we've ever had," said
Executive Producer John Brunton. "Allowing competitors to audition with
instruments has attracted a level of talent that we haven't seen before. Get
ready for one of the best seasons ever."
The season begins with a 90-minute episode on June 5 (8:30 - 10 p.m. ET)
with highlights from auditions in Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary, Winnipeg, St.
John's and Halifax. The broadcast schedule then unfolds as follows (all times
